If I understood correctly, there was a time when all Leica cameras were 
hand-fitted from supplied parts. At a certain point, starting with the 
production of one of the M series, their cameras began being machine 
fitted with the result that their quality control is no more or less 
than any of the big Japanese camera companies.

Does this ring a bell?
